Nutiva Organic Chia Seeds are premium raw black chia seeds sourced from South America, Central America, and Mexico. These ancient superfood seeds were revered by Aztec and Mayan civilizations as vital nourishment and remain a nutritional powerhouse today.

These gluten-free seeds are a rich source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, protein, antioxidants, and fiber. A 3 tablespoon serving provides 15 times more magnesium than broccoli, 30% more antioxidants than blueberries, and twice the potassium of bananas. The mild, nutty flavor complements both sweet and savory dishes, making them versatile for various recipes.

Unlike flax seeds, chia seeds do not need to be ground for the body to absorb their nutrients. They can be eaten raw, added to yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, and baked goods, or blended into beverages. When soaked in water, chia seeds form a nutritious gel that can be used as a vegan egg substitute in recipes. The seeds are certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Whole30 Approved, gluten-free, and never processed with hexane or dangerous chemicals.

Nutiva partners with PUR Project to offset carbon emissions from chia farming and production by planting trees in Peru, helping to sequester carbon, preserve biodiversity, conserve water, and protect against natural disasters. The 48 oz (3 lb) resealable package should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
